COMMENTS
a(n) is the first occurrence of a difference of 2n between A000959(k+1) and A000959(k). - Robert G. Wilson v, May 12 2006
a(136) > 10^9. - Donovan Johnson, Dec 07 2011
Unknown terms a(166), a(176), a(178), a(182), and a(185) through a(209) are all greater than 10^10. - Kevin P. Thompson, Nov 24 2021
